I might enter a USS meet next year as the long course season gets underway. I believe you have to be registered with USS to do so, but just wondered:
Is there an easy way to do this given that I'm already USMS registered (e.g., any reciprocity arrangement)?
Do you have to affiliate yourself with a USS team or can you just swim UNAT?
Thanks,

If you are talking about entering a meet with qualifying times, yes...sort of. In the GA LSC, you can enter without a "proof of time."
But if your swim doesn't beat the qualifying time, they go witch hunting through the USA Swims Database looking for proof you met the time standard in a USA meet.
If you haven't, they fine you $50 per infraction and bar your team (or you if unattached) from competition until you pay up.
YMMV in your LSC.
so, I have to swim at an A/BB/C type USA meets to get the times for the higher level meets.
